Ever wondered how it felt, being the first man to land on the moon? How did the man behind the words “one small step for mankind, one giant lap for mankind” – Neil Armstrong – feel in the years to come that he landed Apollo 11 on the moon in 1969 with Buzz Aldrin? The film FIRST MAN tells this story. It tells the story of Pilot Neil Armstrong, who with his family has been exposed to an inhuman loss with the loss of their daughter. How his selection for a large-scale NASA space program is the start of a new chapter in his and his family life – an exciting, but very dangerous chapter. To be an astronaut requires hard work, time away from the family – and sometimes also human life ….

We have heard the story of the first moon landing before, but there is something special about FIRST MAN, showing the human costs and stories behind. As a viewer, you almost feel like you’re there, you feel with Neil Armstrong (played by Ryan Gosling) – and all the other people involved. The film manages to catch one’s attention so we almost feel that it’s us jumping out with the catapult seat when Neil is on a test. All the way through the movie it’s like being there yourself – right up to the first step on the moon …. So even though we know what the movie ends with – there’s plenty of excitement the whole movie through. And there is also no doubt, that to be the first man on the moon – it has been fantastic, but all that went ahead was hard and sometimes a hell.

Watch the movie and experience what it was like to be the first man on the moon ….
